香港嘅人冇地不發達

粵語有九聲,原來「香港嘅人冇地不發達」此九個字便是一至九聲順序。

well....咁難既,是但用個"ma"字去發呢九個音,後面幾隻字好似一樣咁濟~

年初四‧未有心情工作

年初四並唔係番工既日子,坐車、搭lift都好少人。原來香港d公司咁慷慨,或者係生意太差老闆把心一橫連續放一星期。


H&M係中港城第六座既大租戶,好似佔左第六座一半既tenancy咁,19/f就八成都係佢地既office,佢地d褔利真係幾好。過時過節好多公司都番足全日,我地放三點,佢地好似放全日咁,lunch time行過已經全office熄晒燈。聖誕節一早九點就開始party,平時間唔中全公司去picnic,又放一日假。歐洲公司係唔同d...


今年新年過得實在不經意,無過年氣氛、無食年糕同蘿蔔糕、無人講恭喜發財,只有三天假期同利是。正如聖誕節一樣,節日既意義可以慢慢neutralize,大家需要既假期同玩既機會!

要對自己好d呀!

女權主義抬頭既其中一樣副產品係大家既感情煩惱。以前女人社會地位無咁高,亦無咁多選擇,個老公唔好最多怨天尤人,最終都應該認命,it's done then。而家選擇多左,好既唔使多講,唔好既就係會揀錯,或者唔知點揀好。不過個籃入面rotten eggs比較多,四正d既可能係基,或者自己都食唔住,最終都吐番出黎。人越黎越多,蛋又越來越少,0係咁既環境下我都冇乜advice,add oil、you'll be great呢d客套說話真係一句起兩句止,爛到無朋友,不能講太多。

有一點好重要既係要對自己好d,要食既、買既、去既,想做就做,無人管住,唔使睇人面色,no one will complain even you want to be a slut, what a wonderful time!

自殺疑雲

昨日cynical的我又出現,同事們以為我受左大創傷,好似會自殺咁,哈哈,走埋黎問我有冇事。個trigger係一個同事既生日。

其實每個同事生日公司都會出錢買個蛋糕,係咁易吹下蠟燭同影張相。呢個活動本身有人贊成有人反對,已經有少少political。跟住下個月又係我生日,又要諗邊日食蛋糕、買邊款蛋糕、去邊度食飯,大家重緊張過我,又話一定要正日前,如果唔係補祝生日唔好......我好輕輕咁講,下個月先算啦,又未到,話唔定生日前死左咁就乜都唔使諗,今日lunch食乜都未諗就諗下個月,又唔係趕住訂位.....其實我對呢個活動冇佢地咁熱心,未至於諗住自殺既~

死,講咁耐都無重點,會比香港人歧視,始終大家"睇命中注定我愛你"大,新聞都係亞視高層內鬨、倪震偷食等等,慣左有個重點、高潮位什至大結局。生命有限,沒有重點既東西可以skip,尤如飛廣告咁.....brilliant!

Oh fxxk, still a cynical me today~

In love with Apple, in love with Steve Jobs

Steve0係史丹褔既演講,simple but wonderful,簡單d講既係:

1. Dots can only be connected backwards, not forward. At one point in your life you will finally realize what you have done so far can be connected together, you've got to find what you love.

He goes like "so you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future. You have to trust in something — your gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever."

2. Don't lose faith. I'm convinced that the only thing that kept me going was that I loved what I did. You've got to find what you love. And that is as true for your work as it is for your lovers. Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. And the only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven't found it yet, keep looking. Don't settle.

As with all matters of the heart, you'll know when you find it. And, like any great relationship, it just gets better and better as the years roll on. So keep looking until you find it. Don't settle.

3. Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart.

No one wants to die. Even people who want to go to heaven don't want to die to get there. And yet death is the destination we all share. No one has ever escaped it. And that is as it should be, because Death is very likely the single best invention of Life. It is Life's change agent.

Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma — which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of others' opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition.

**********

'You've got to find what you love,' Jobs says
This is the text of the Commencement address by Steve Jobs, CEO of Apple Computer and of Pixar Animation Studios, delivered on June 12, 2005.

I am honored to be with you today at your commencement from one of the finest universities in the world. I never graduated from college. Truth be told, this is the closest I've ever gotten to a college graduation. Today I want to tell you three stories from my life. That's it. No big deal. Just three stories.

The first story is about connecting the dots.

I dropped out of Reed College after the first 6 months, but then stayed around as a drop-in for another 18 months or so before I really quit. So why did I drop out?

It started before I was born. My biological mother was a young, unwed college graduate student, and she decided to put me up for adoption. She felt very strongly that I should be adopted by college graduates, so everything was all set for me to be adopted at birth by a lawyer and his wife. Except that when I popped out they decided at the last minute that they really wanted a girl. So my parents, who were on a waiting list, got a call in the middle of the night asking: "We have an unexpected baby boy; do you want him?" They said: "Of course." My biological mother later found out that my mother had never graduated from college and that my father had never graduated from high school. She refused to sign the final adoption papers. She only relented a few months later when my parents promised that I would someday go to college.

And 17 years later I did go to college. But I naively chose a college that was almost as expensive as Stanford, and all of my working-class parents' savings were being spent on my college tuition. After six months, I couldn't see the value in it. I had no idea what I wanted to do with my life and no idea how college was going to help me figure it out. And here I was spending all of the money my parents had saved their entire life. So I decided to drop out and trust that it would all work out OK. It was pretty scary at the time, but looking back it was one of the best decisions I ever made. The minute I dropped out I could stop taking the required classes that didn't interest me, and begin dropping in on the ones that looked interesting.

It wasn't all romantic. I didn't have a dorm room, so I slept on the floor in friends' rooms, I returned coke bottles for the 5¢ deposits to buy food with, and I would walk the 7 miles across town every Sunday night to get one good meal a week at the Hare Krishna temple. I loved it. And much of what I stumbled into by following my curiosity and intuition turned out to be priceless later on. Let me give you one example:

Reed College at that time offered perhaps the best calligraphy instruction in the country. Throughout the campus every poster, every label on every drawer, was beautifully hand calligraphed. Because I had dropped out and didn't have to take the normal classes, I decided to take a calligraphy class to learn how to do this. I learned about serif and san serif typefaces, about varying the amount of space between different letter combinations, about what makes great typography great. It was beautiful, historical, artistically subtle in a way that science can't capture, and I found it fascinating.

None of this had even a hope of any practical application in my life. But ten years later, when we were designing the first Macintosh computer, it all came back to me. And we designed it all into the Mac. It was the first computer with beautiful typography. If I had never dropped in on that single course in college, the Mac would have never had multiple typefaces or proportionally spaced fonts. And since Windows just copied the Mac, its likely that no personal computer would have them. If I had never dropped out, I would have never dropped in on this calligraphy class, and personal computers might not have the wonderful typography that they do. Of course it was impossible to connect the dots looking forward when I was in college. But it was very, very clear looking backwards ten years later.

Again, you can't connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backwards. So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future. You have to trust in something — your gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever. This approach has never let me down, and it has made all the difference in my life.

My second story is about love and loss.

I was lucky — I found what I loved to do early in life. Woz and I started Apple in my parents garage when I was 20. We worked hard, and in 10 years Apple had grown from just the two of us in a garage into a $2 billion company with over 4000 employees. We had just released our finest creation — the Macintosh — a year earlier, and I had just turned 30. And then I got fired. How can you get fired from a company you started? Well, as Apple grew we hired someone who I thought was very talented to run the company with me, and for the first year or so things went well. But then our visions of the future began to diverge and eventually we had a falling out. When we did, our Board of Directors sided with him. So at 30 I was out. And very publicly out. What had been the focus of my entire adult life was gone, and it was devastating.

I really didn't know what to do for a few months. I felt that I had let the previous generation of entrepreneurs down - that I had dropped the baton as it was being passed to me. I met with David Packard and Bob Noyce and tried to apologize for screwing up so badly. I was a very public failure, and I even thought about running away from the valley. But something slowly began to dawn on me — I still loved what I did. The turn of events at Apple had not changed that one bit. I had been rejected, but I was still in love. And so I decided to start over.

I didn't see it then, but it turned out that getting fired from Apple was the best thing that could have ever happened to me. The heaviness of being successful was replaced by the lightness of being a beginner again, less sure about everything. It freed me to enter one of the most creative periods of my life.

During the next five years, I started a company named NeXT, another company named Pixar, and fell in love with an amazing woman who would become my wife. Pixar went on to create the worlds first computer animated feature film, Toy Story, and is now the most successful animation studio in the world. In a remarkable turn of events, Apple bought NeXT, I returned to Apple, and the technology we developed at NeXT is at the heart of Apple's current renaissance. And Laurene and I have a wonderful family together.

I'm pretty sure none of this would have happened if I hadn't been fired from Apple. It was awful tasting medicine, but I guess the patient needed it. Sometimes life hits you in the head with a brick. Don't lose faith. I'm convinced that the only thing that kept me going was that I loved what I did. You've got to find what you love. And that is as true for your work as it is for your lovers. Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. And the only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven't found it yet, keep looking. Don't settle. As with all matters of the heart, you'll know when you find it. And, like any great relationship, it just gets better and better as the years roll on. So keep looking until you find it. Don't settle.

My third story is about death.

When I was 17, I read a quote that went something like: "If you live each day as if it was your last, someday you'll most certainly be right." It made an impression on me, and since then, for the past 33 years, I have looked in the mirror every morning and asked myself: "If today were the last day of my life, would I want to do what I am about to do today?" And whenever the answer has been "No" for too many days in a row, I know I need to change something.

Remembering that I'll be dead soon is the most important tool I've ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life. Because almost everything — all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure - these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important. Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart.

About a year ago I was diagnosed with cancer. I had a scan at 7:30 in the morning, and it clearly showed a tumor on my pancreas. I didn't even know what a pancreas was. The doctors told me this was almost certainly a type of cancer that is incurable, and that I should expect to live no longer than three to six months. My doctor advised me to go home and get my affairs in order, which is doctor's code for prepare to die. It means to try to tell your kids everything you thought you'd have the next 10 years to tell them in just a few months. It means to make sure everything is buttoned up so that it will be as easy as possible for your family. It means to say your goodbyes.

I lived with that diagnosis all day. Later that evening I had a biopsy, where they stuck an endoscope down my throat, through my stomach and into my intestines, put a needle into my pancreas and got a few cells from the tumor. I was sedated, but my wife, who was there, told me that when they viewed the cells under a microscope the doctors started crying because it turned out to be a very rare form of pancreatic cancer that is curable with surgery. I had the surgery and I'm fine now.

This was the closest I've been to facing death, and I hope its the closest I get for a few more decades. Having lived through it, I can now say this to you with a bit more certainty than when death was a useful but purely intellectual concept:

No one wants to die. Even people who want to go to heaven don't want to die to get there. And yet death is the destination we all share. No one has ever escaped it. And that is as it should be, because Death is very likely the single best invention of Life. It is Life's change agent. It clears out the old to make way for the new. Right now the new is you, but someday not too long from now, you will gradually become the old and be cleared away. Sorry to be so dramatic, but it is quite true.

Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma — which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of others' opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.

When I was young, there was an amazing publication called The Whole Earth Catalog, which was one of the bibles of my generation. It was created by a fellow named Stewart Brand not far from here in Menlo Park, and he brought it to life with his poetic touch. This was in the late 1960's, before personal computers and desktop publishing, so it was all made with typewriters, scissors, and polaroid cameras. It was sort of like Google in paperback form, 35 years before Google came along: it was idealistic, and overflowing with neat tools and great notions.

Stewart and his team put out several issues of The Whole Earth Catalog, and then when it had run its course, they put out a final issue. It was the mid-1970s, and I was your age. On the back cover of their final issue was a photograph of an early morning country road, the kind you might find yourself hitchhiking on if you were so adventurous. Beneath it were the words: "Stay Hungry. Stay Foolish." It was their farewell message as they signed off. Stay Hungry. Stay Foolish. And I have always wished that for myself. And now, as you graduate to begin anew, I wish that for you.

Stay Hungry. Stay Foolish.

Thank you all very much.

精彩的珠海浸熱水之旅

呢個浸熱水之旅個差電效果非常好,搞手兼導遊既生鬼演出幫歡樂指數乘左N次方,多謝晒!

跟住番多一個星期就放新年假,感覺良好。

P.S: 老實講,大陸既溫泉應該只係加左咸味既白開水,去完呢次御溫泉呢個感覺有增無減。大陸人吸引人去浸白開水既掩飾方法係加不同既香味落d水度,例如有咖啡味、薰衣草味、菊花、當歸等等,so wonderful! 我未去過北海道浸溫泉,我估果度應該無綠茶味、小丸子味、麵豉味溫泉掛...

番大陸浸熱水

剛過去既星期一至三去左武漢出差,same old fucking Wuhan,好在唔凍,未到零下。原來零度都可以叫唔凍,全世界既標準只係a matter of comparison,人比人未必會比死人,有時會覺得自己都幾幸福。不過呢個做法好殘忍,全世界比到最尾果個人唔知同邉個比。That's right though, the world is cruel!

今個週末番大陸浸熱水(人稱浸溫泉),何解唔係去北海道? 如果呢個係人生既最後一星期,我應該唔會咁樣過...

Well,是但寫幾隻字就知老子心情唔太靚,I gotta get rid of the negative energy in the trip~

The end of Iphone week

itunes有成萬個apps,一日download十個都唔得搞。繼續落去就考mock都未讀完contract,面對住有問題既境況應該及早抽身,so I have to stay away from it~

對住部好正既電話、好爛既工、好仆街既男朋友都好,有問題時應該要止蝕(或者止賺啦),如果唔係將來蝕得重勁。好重阿媽生得我冷血,做呢d決定相對容易d。

God bless uuu.......

為什麼世上竟有如此出色的產品?


以電話功能黎計,佢絶對冇優勢,通話質素、待機時間等等都大有改善空間。甚至我覺得靚到冇得頂既mon聽講都有對手,報導話HTC新出果部唔知乜乜HD個mon重靚。不過Iphone最大既賣點係 it is a gadget rather than just a phone,電話只係佢其中一個功能。成個itunes store, 包括入面既歌、電影、劇集、apps 同 podcast 等等都係apple附加既selling points,而我覺得呢d係最大既賣點tim,因為其他公司複製唔到。

如果齋打電話、甚至齋聽歌都唔使買iphone,正如買部電腦唔會淨係用黎聽CD,齋聽CD可以買CD機,d聲又靚d。而部電腦除左聽歌,你重會用黎上網、打機、check email、裝其他software等等就冇得唔買,好難想像CD機可以進化到有呢D功能...

紅杏出牆 - Daisy Wong

I like it, especially "Happiness in marriage is entirely a matter of chance".

*****

莎士比亞說:「All the world is a stage. And all the men and women are merely players.」在中環,同樣每日都由癡男怨女上演着離離合合與恩怨情仇,只不過並非人人都會像倪震與周慧敏那樣事事發聲明罷了。

大概因為世上太多像倪震之類的男人,大家每每提起「不忠」兩個字,都會一口氣指控男方卑鄙無恥下流賤格。其實理論上,男人可以拈花惹草,難道女人就不會紅杏出牆?我 Daisy 敢說,每一個已婚的女人都曾經有過紅杏出牆的念頭,只不過並非人人有「吉士」把真心話說出來罷了!

既是這樣,為什麼搞婚外情的男人依然遠比女人多?Well,很多人以為是因為女人比較忠誠,但對唔住各位姊妹都要講一句,其實那是一個美麗的誤會!真正的原因好簡單:男人去滾是一件相當方便的事,香港有太多寂寞的芳心,燕瘦環肥,任君選擇;相反,香港女人無論單身或已婚,要找一個勉強看得上眼的男人都已經夠難,還要額外多找一個情人?Jesus,真是想起都覺得頭痛。

錯愛

當然,如果你是一個毫無要求的人,那要找多少個情人也不難。早前在報章上讀到一則奇聞:一個中年漢與二百磅妻子結婚十七年,婚姻生活無風無浪。直至年前,丈夫發覺妻子行為有異,懷疑有人紅杏出牆,卻苦無證據,只能暗中偵查。一日,丈夫離家上班,卻突然心血來潮折返寓所。他不動聲色取出鎖匙開門入屋,直闖睡房!打開房門後,赫見老婆與姦夫在床上衣衫不整,丈夫怒火中燒,衝前欲將姦夫擒住,卻冷不防妻子先發制人,一掌將他推向衣櫃,令他失去平衡跌倒在地。胖婦再以二百磅的身軀把丈夫當「人肉凳仔」,令他動彈不得,為姦夫製造逃走的機會。感謝這位女士,我今日終於明白原來「緣份」係咁 powerful,二百磅都擋唔住!

電影 The Bridges of Madison County,將紅杏出牆的心路歷程描繪得淋漓盡致。Meryl Streep 本是一個小鎮的家庭主婦,生活平淡。她在丈夫和孩子離家數天期間,遇上從城市來的 Clint Eastwood,為這個小女人開了眼界。她發現自己從未如此熱烈地愛上一個男人,但他終歸要走,自己要跟着走還是留下來?

每個人一生中都有幾個 critical moments,那一刻的決定,可能徹底改變下半生。在滂沱大雨的下午,女人開車追了出去,她的手緊緊握住車門的手柄,內心交戰着應否開門跟愛人遠走他方。她最終留了下來,將一生獻給家庭,唯一的心願是死後能與愛人的骨灰一起撒於麥迪遜之橋下。

* * *

朋友 Sharon 結婚前夕,我問她心情如何。誰不知她竟然一口氣乾了手上的紅酒,眼定定望着我說:「Daisy,你話我知,我點解要結婚?」我都算醒目,看勢色不對,趕緊再灌她喝了兩瓶紅酒,找人抬她回家兼鎖死全屋門窗,否則她醒來後不逃婚才怪!起初我以為 Sharon 只是婚前恐懼症,但如今回想起來,她的戀愛史厚過電話簿,以後她真的甘心為一棵樹放棄整個森林?如果戀愛的人需要有點醉,將要結婚的人就要醉得不省人事才好辦。怪不得法國人乾脆把 bachelor party 稱為 enterrement de vie de garon,意思就是 the funeral of a boy's life!

我真不明白,為何那麼多人趕住幫自己搞 funeral。莫說 Jane Austen 那句:「Happiness in marriage is entirely a matter of chance.」即使是一盤穩操勝券的牌局,在你坐落賭枱那一刻,就已經變得身不由己。倒不如我現在一個人住在蘭開夏道,自由自在,不知幾爽!白天在公司看老闆和客人面色已經夠你受,如果回到家裏仍要看人面色,那還有什麼人生樂趣?

* * *

世界變了。從前像 Miffty 這種第三者,肯定會被視為千古罪人。但現在攤開報章,她不但沒有受到責難,反被看成一個受害者。相反,三從四德、海量汪涵的「賢妻」周慧敏卻成為眾矢之的,被指放縱賤男,天地不容。

拈花

今時今日,香港人不再大罵第三者,因為自己都可能做過第三者!就算以前未做過,亦無人敢擔保自己明天不會做!拈花惹草與紅杏出牆已是多麼普遍的一回事。當然,最令人費解的是倪震 N 年前的情敵劉錫明竟成了整件事的大贏家,無厘頭「凱旋回港」,工作量也因而大增。Jesus,這個世界究竟怎麼了?

至於倪震,無論這是否他自編自導自演的一台戲,無論張茆、慧敏和倪震的聲明是否通通出自他一人的手筆,在我這個女觀眾的眼中也是一樣。「四哥」謝賢說過:「男人可以風流,但不可以下流。」究竟兩者有何分別?根本同樣都係流!

* * *

講真,男人也是一種很犯賤的動物。女人唔滾,男人唔緊!你要是地老天荒地守在家裏,就注定一世被個衰佬食住,睇死你惡不出什麼樣子來!話時話,我對 Philip 是不是太過死心塌地?我跟這個渾蛋的關係搞來搞去都搞不明朗,死守下去似乎也不是辦法……連師奶都知道,將所有雞蛋放在同一個籃是一件相當危險的事。Philip 固然是我的 Plan A,但為安全起見,來多個 Plan B、Plan C 和 Plan D 也不為過吧。反正他做初一,我做十五,我對得起他有餘。做女人最緊要面對現實,天真及傻只會落得悲劇收場!

嫉妒

前幾天,Plan B 送了一束紅玫瑰給我。本來收花確是一件值得高興的事,問題是那笨蛋竟將花束送到我家裏來,而不是送到公司去。因為這事,他像恆生指數那樣由 Plan B 嘩一聲跌到落 Plan Q,還未正式開始拉票就已經告急。

究竟此人犯了什麼錯要被降低評級?Okay,就讓我向各位好好解釋,也順道醒各位中環「地鐵男」幾條好橋,讓你們今年追女仔不至於餐餐食白果。

其實追女仔嘛,是有技巧的,絕非心口掛個「勇」字就盲目向前衝。首先,送花一定要送去女孩子上班的地方,因為收花這件事的精髓就是要招人妒忌。有些男人幾十歲人都依然好純情,一廂情願地以為把花束送到女孩的家,可以方便她將鮮花插在家裏。簡直戇居!花不是要來插的,是用來曬的,放在家裏鬼來看你?富貴不還鄉,猶如錦衣夜行!所以講到送花,要麼不送,一送就最好送夠十束,迫爆公司整個房間,讓上司下屬秘書以至掃地阿嬸,在眼裏燃起妒忌的怒火!如果你試過,你就會明白被人妒忌那種感覺有幾 high。正如我愛打扮,喜歡漂亮的衣服,並不是要穿給自己看,更不是要穿給男人看,而是要讓其他女人妒忌。

Well,你一定想話我虛榮。不錯,我 Daisy 的確是一個非常虛榮的人,慘得過我認?好過有些人明明好恨錢,卻大大聲批評別人為五斗米折腰;明明最在乎民望,卻宣稱「民望如浮雲」。其實作為行政長官,重視民望不是天經地義的事嗎?怕咩認?

現實是殘酷的。在那堆 Plan 裏面,真正能夠送花送得我滿意,只有 Plan A。不知他此刻在做些什麼?不知他有沒有想起我? http://daisy-lancashire.blogspot.com

「蘭開夏道」自2007年7月推出以來,讀者反應熱烈。許多人寄來電郵說,逢星期六買份《信報》,一邊悠閒地飲杯茶,一邊讀着「蘭開夏道」,是他們一星期裏最大的樂趣,但同時又抱怨要等一星期才有那篇小小的文章,未過足癮!

面對金融海嘯,許多人憂心忡忡,愁眉苦臉。在這個困難的時期,我 Daisy 決定與大家齊上齊落,犧牲一點 shopping 的時間,多寫一點來娛樂大家。說到底,做人何必那麼沉重?即使海嘯當前,讓我們繼續跳舞。

清閒

0係工作上面全年最清閒既日子係十二月尾到一月頭,因為日本同d客都放假,等半日先得一個email,真好。

趁有時間,掉下垃圾,執下部電腦,又執下個blog,可以玩幾日。0係度做野真係唔讀書對唔住呢份工...

望望舊年既新年願望,一半以上都逹標,除左一個"six packs",我深信呢個wish will never come true coz I am not going to work on it and will never include in my new year resolution, haha~

A good start of 2009

2008年最尾果日睇左套全年最爛既電影,新一年睇番套好好睇既戲,好大既對比。係改編自漫畫既日本電影<死亡預告>,講人點用盡死亡前既廿四小時。我未必當每日係人生最後一日咁過,但基本上我都當每年係最後一年,所以每年既new year resolution我都有做到。

又係時候諗諗今年既new year resolution......
